Another book which left me confused. Did I liked it? I mean I read it in one breath and all I need it to read this book was one evening. But… altough I have very close to existencialism myself, I didnt understand to the main character. He was just going with the wind but at the one encounter with the Arab (which I dont want to spoil just in case) it seemed totally unlike him. Or am I wrong? Did I miss something?

Anyway I liked the irony about his mother funeral - at the beginning of the book he feels like he should say sorry for him taking a break in work to go to his mother funeral, he feels sorry during the funeral altough he and even I as the reader felt like “why the hell is he sorry?” But at the end of the book his mother funeral was the main thing used against him.

Another funny thing about this book - I read it before ( 5 years ago) and I absolutely forgot about it. Even during reading I didnt noticed it. Only when I wanted to add it here I found it. I guess I wasnt ready for this book back then. I gave it only 2 stars. Today I’m adding one star and thanks to mixed emotions I’m feeling, I’m sure this time, I wont forget. (But hey we will se 5 years later, future PJ am I right?)
